Impressionsof K 2010

First K. And then Kö.A city to suit all tastes.

The former village (Dorf) on the river Düssel is today

the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most

populous and economically strongest state. A city with

a high quality of life, art and culture, fashion and

shopping opportunities. Plus tradition, beer and bars.

You’ll feel at ease whether you spend your time in

Königsallee (Kö), Germany’s most celebrated shopping

boulevard, in the Altstadt (Old Town) or in the

Medienhafen (harbour district). Düsseldorf is fasci-

nating for its diversity.
